Colin Sutherland. Amanda Knox engaged to Brooklyn musician. But will it last?

Amanda Knox, the 27 year old Seattle, Washington woman re convicted of killing along with her co defendant and then boyfriend, Italy’s Raffaele Sollecito, British student Meredith Kercher in 2007 has admitted she is engaged to Brooklyn rocker, Colin Sunderland.

The pair’s unlikely union comes after Sunderland wrote to the beleaguered writing creative major when she was first incarcerated where the pair would strike up a friendship over time.

According to the Seattle Times the pair had known each other since middle school.

The journal would further tell that the couple’s engagement took place last week with yet no date having been set for the nuptials.

Knox’s stint as a reporter comes more than seven years after she landed in the middle of an Italian murder mystery that captivated the world and her subsequent 2014 graduation from the University of Washington.

Knox is moving forward with her life after four years spent in prison abroad, but the saga is far from over. Despite being freed after a 2011 appeal which overturned her initial conviction, but her sense of freedom was short lived after prosecutors lodged and won an appeal and re-convicted Knox and Sollecito last year.

Italy’s highest court is now set to rule March 25 on whether Knox must face another trial, although she has claimed she’ll never return to Italy.

If she is convicted again, Italy is likely to request to extradite Knox but her longstanding battle to prove her innocence has made her a cause célèbre in the U.S who may choose to resist political pressure to send her back. A looming international legal squabble that could leave the US government with little room and the possibility of relenting.

Sutherland, 27, a self-described ghost hunter, reports the nydailynews turned to the crowdfunding site Indiegogoin 2013 to film a pilot for “The Haunted Life,” described as a show about ‘ghosts, music, storytelling, and travel and how they all come together around a campfire!’

Amanda Knox’s engagement non coincidentally (?) just before the Italian high court’s March ruling has since led to users on twitter once again debating her innocence or guilt, a favorite hotly debated topic which shows no signs of abating.
